Zenit's forward, Omari Spellman, commented on his team's performance at the start of the season.
The blue-white-blue team is currently in second place in the standings of the regular season of the VTB United League and is on an eight-game winning streak.
“We are playing really good basketball. I think everyone is gradually understanding how to play together, and we are trying to interact better with each other. So far, we have a lot of wins, we are in second place, and our goal is to play our best basketball as we approach the playoffs. How would I rate our team chemistry? We are just getting to know each other better. The guys are starting to understand how to play together, where they will get their shots, and how we build our defense. I think from this point on, we will only improve,” Spellman said in an interview with the official website of BC Zenit.
CSKA and Zenit have the same number of victories (13), but the army team has a game in hand.
